What will be the outcome of the Israeli legislative election on 1 November 2022?

Multiple choice Opened 28 July 2022 Closed 1 November 2022 Resolved 30 December 2022 125 forecasts 47 forecasters
The Israeli Parliament, the Knesset, dissolved on 30 June 2022, and the Yesh Atid party head, Yair Lapid, began serving as the caretaker Prime Minister (CNN). On 1 November 2022 Israel is scheduled to hold elections for its 120-seat parliament as a result. 
This question will be resolved using reputable open-source news media reports (e.g., Reuters, NYTimes, AP, BBC). If after the election a government cannot be formed, new elections will be called.
